For Churches, community centres and charitiesA hall lends its keys to a dozen groups and its trailer to anybody running a fete. Almost everyone is a volunteer, almost nothing is written down, and the person who knew where things were has moved away.
The hall key is with whoever ran Tuesday’s playgroup, and the trailer has been at somebody’s house since the fete.
Volunteers change every term. The key ring should not have to remember who they were.
Built for keys.
Works for anything you need back.
Three things Churches, community centres and charities say constantly — and what the register does about each.
Every hirer and group leader is signed out to by name and phone number, so the question is never "who has the hall key" — it is on the board, with somebody's name against it.
Big items go missing slowly. A due date and an automatic reminder is usually all it takes — nobody keeps a trailer on purpose, they just forget.
The register outlives whoever is running things this year, so a new treasurer inherits a record rather than a story.
Anything that leaves a counter and is meant to come back. Each item is its own record, with its own history.
Every item is signed out to a person — a staff member, a contractor, a tenant, with a phone number. Two taps at the board or on a phone, and the record is made as it happens rather than written up later from memory.
Anything past its due time texts and emails whoever has it, by itself. Most things come back before anybody in the office has noticed they were late — and nobody has to make the awkward phone call.
One board shows everything that is out, who has it, and how long it has been gone — overdue in red. The question at five o'clock is answered by looking, not by asking everybody in the room.
Set up your board, sign a few things out, and see whether the chasing stops. From $39.95 a month afterwards. Cancel any time during the trial, and there is nothing to install.
